Depression

Depression is a difficult thing. It’s a feeling of endless sadness. Sometimes we may know why we feel this way but then there are those times when you have to figure out why. Is it something that happened in the past? Maybe it’s your family history. Whatever the case might be, the feeling is there.

It feels like you’re never going to get better. Like you are stuck at the worst feeling you can have and nothing will change. You know about the hotlines and you know about hospital help. But in your mind you think that won’t help. So what do you do exactly?

Of course there is the option of calling a hotline and getting professional help. It may seem like they won’t be able to help but trust me they will. Professionals know what to do. They are well informed on how to help someone in this state of mind. Either you get to talk with a therapist or/and you will be prescribed medication to help.

It may seem scary, telling a professional and being risk to being put in a mental hospital, but they do it for the person good. They care about them and that don’t want to see the person get hurt or possibly lose their lives.

Another option is to not keep it hidden. Usually someone who is depressed will tell their best friends and make them keep it a secret. If you do this, you are trusting the person with a secret that could impact the outcome of the entire situation. You know there is a possibility that they will tell someone but you are willing to risk it mostly because you want them to say something. You want to have that friend that will say your secret in order to do what’s best for you. This is a cry for help.

The main thing you should do if you have depression is to tell a trusted adult or a professional to get help. If you’re still in school I suggest talking with your counselor.

Sometimes I find that it’s easier talking with someone like a school counselor than parents because counselors don’t know what your life is like. In the other hand you’re always with your parents and they might not choose the right choice of words if they see that you’ve been perfectly fine. But if you trust your parents to talk to then don’t let me stop you. I support any decision on who to talk to as long as they get the help the need.
